SUMMARY: The Rebels are now 3-2 in the SEC and will face Florida in Oxford on Thursday. The JSU women’s basketball team is off to a great start in SWAC play, winning their first four games. Senior leadership from Miya Crump has been instrumental in the team’s success, as she missed most of last year due to injury. Crump’s return has boosted the team, with her scoring 13 points and grabbing 9 rebounds in their last game. Despite the challenge of not trying to make up for lost time, Crump is playing within herself and the team is benefiting from her experience as a winner at JSU.

Miya Crump was sorely missed last year as the JSU women’s basketball team fell short in the SWAC Semifinals. But the senior forward is back from injury and making an impact for the Tigers. She is second on the team in score with at least 15 games played and is second in rebounding. The Houston native has been eager to get back on the court and is helping lead the way for this team which hopes to remain on top of the SWAC come March.

SUMMARY: The Catholic Diocese of Jackson reflects on Pope Francis’ impactful legacy, highlighting his message of joy and simplicity. Mary Woodward, Chancellor of the Diocese, admired the dignity and simplicity of the Pope’s funeral, which exemplified his approach to life and leadership. Francis’ focus on marginalized communities and his efforts to build bridges rather than walls earned him respect across faiths, even among non-believers. His funeral was a significant moment, marked by images of the Pope at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Jackson, with a red cloth symbolizing his connection to the Apostle Peter.

SUMMARY: Residents of West Jackson are frustrated by the long wait for street repairs. Mr. Johnson, a local, voiced his concerns over a growing pothole on Denver and Long Street, demanding full repairs instead of temporary patches. Despite some recent repair attempts, the hole persists due to ongoing water drainage issues from nearby apartments. City workers, including an employee named Isaac, explained that the water flow must be stopped before permanent fixes can occur. The area also suffers from illegal dumping, with tires being placed around the pothole as a makeshift barrier, further adding to residents’ frustrations.
